Downy serviceberry (Amelanchier arborea) is a beautiful native flowering tree that provides multi-season interest and valuable wildlife habitat. In early spring, clouds of delicate white flowers cover the branches before the leaves emerge, creating a striking display in woodland gardens and native landscapes. By early summer, the tree produces small purple-blue serviceberries that are edible and loved by birds and pollinators.
